a number of republican senators including john mccain say chuck hagel is not qualified for the job but they indicate that they're going to allow the full senate to vote because what happened ten days ago was that the senators voted to postpone the vote and to continue the debate so it's all likely that they're going to keep stalling the vote over confirmation and he will be confirmed there's no doubt about that the votes are there but the humiliation that he had to grow through during these last few months sent a message all by itself right now chuck hagel is this painting figure who keeps apologizing for the positions he has taken before for the statements he had made before including that war with iran should not be an option including his criticism of israel's actions and other foreign policy views that he had expressed as a senator the congress effectively showed their readiness to destroy anyone who would allow themselves to descend from washington's core foreign policy belief so despite all the apologizing that mr hagel has done one senator said that he almost had tears in his ey

biofuel drones to a green fleet, i expect similar policies to continue when my former colleague chuck hagel is confirmed, hopefully as early as next week. for all these reasons, i have long been a supporter of renewable fuels. i encourage the further development of an industry that is important both to our national security and to our farm economy. whether we are talking food or water or energy security, let me put it this way. in the future more crops in the field can mean fewer soldiers in the field. at the same time, as important as our defense capabilities are we also need to rebalance toward .he other three d's the us today spends more on defense than diplomacy, democracy, and development all put together. meanwhile in the past year china has more than doubled its investment in developing new agricultural technologies. those are the kinds of farsighted policies enabling china to emerge as a world power. which we, frankly, need to get back to. as we shift our focus and resources toward smarter, more constructive forms of international interaction it is critical that food security remain

senator hagel has and archive. some of the speech there's is contention about what he has actually said. they have the legitimate issue for the republican senators to say secretary of defense is kind of an important job and we look at these peaches he has given. having said -- these speeches he has given. party loyalty sometimes trumps everything else in washington. >> chris: mara, as i was talking about with senator coburn you have mccain who voted to block. he says he is not going to vote this week to block. richard shelby voted to block and is not going to do that. this would seem just mathematic since the cloture was defeated bay single vote with those two switches hagel gets through. >> i think hagel gets through. hard to see the math how the republicans can block him and the question is how damaged has he been by the whole process. i think he was damaged more by his own performance than by the votes against him and he will have to make up for that. but as he said he doesn't make policy and it is all coming fr

pessimistic, i think it is worth pointing out that the biden, obama himself, and secretary of defense, chuck hagel, i would arlg is the most pro iranian engagement national security cabinet since the 1979 revolution. so these guys seriously do want to do a deal and i think if ayatollah khamenei generally wants to try to build confidence with the united states this is the best administration to do that. i think the dilemma khamenei has is since 24 years, since 1989, he hasn't left the country since 1989. he sought to preserve the status quo by avoiding transformative decisions. and he's now put himself increasingly with the back against the wall facing unprecedented international pressure, sanctions, et cetera. whereby if he wants to reduce this pressure. either he needs to do a nuclear deal, to reduce the pressure or go for a nuclear weapon. the so-called pakistan option. whereby if they get a bomb. they believe that the outside world will be forced to deal with them. but these are both transformative options. and he, both transformative choices for him. i think he's put himself in a very uncomfor
